Hearing Aids

Well, Caleb has a mild hearing loss. That means hearing aids. Which would be a little sad, I guess to most....but not to Caleb. His girlfriend, Maria, wears hearing aids. So when he got the news, he was really excited. He even counted the days down, in anticipation of finally getting them. He's had them for four days so far, and is really doing great. I think he looks adorable. but I'm also very proud of him. He's matured a lot in the last year.💗💗



Getting the mold done for his hearing aids.



So handsome!

All Three

I just went in and helped Caleb put his cpap mask back on. As I was in there, I looked over at Liam and Elijah both asleep in their beds. I still can't believe I did this. I actually did this. I brought all three of these precious boys home. All three, born in different parts of Russia. All three, had been abandoned by their biological parents. All three, would have spent their entire lives in an institution, subject to abuse, neglect, hunger, sickness. And there, they would have died, alone without anyone who cared, or even known they existed. I am so grateful, that they are here with me, their Mama... that loves them more than life. They could have been left in a cold institution, but now they are asleep in their warm beds, in their home. Once alone, but now, all brothers, a part of a family, my family. I am blessed to be their Mama.

Lunch with Friends

Garth and Trisha stopped in Detroit, on the way to Canada, to have lunch with Jimmy. Yes, you read that right. A beautiful friendship, that makes me so happy. Jimmy's face lights up when he sees them. He doesn't understand fame or fortune, he just knows that they are his friends. And, he's beyond happy to have lunch with them and enjoy a few laughs. And that's just what they did. I came along for the ride. LOL and to take pictures. ;)



Waiting for their plane to arrive.
